Does anyone know what configuration file controls the start order for
the services in the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d folders?
Specifically, which file resets the order to the SuSe defaults if the
order has been modified?
I know how to disable SuSeconfig, but at this point I am not interested
in that. I simply want SuSeconfig to stop changing the startup order of
the PCMCIA service.
With Mandrake and Redhat once I changed the startup order so that PCMCIA
started before network I *never* had to worry about Redhat's up2date or
the Mandrake update utility changing it back.
SuSeconfig on the other hand insists on setting PCMCIA to S08pcmcia
which comes after S05network. I set pcmcia to be S04pcmcia so it starts
before network. This insures that I always get a network connection no
matter what network I am connecting to.
I realize that hotplugger is supposed to start pcmcia but it is simply
unreliable when it comes to pcmcia cards. I should note however, it
works fine with USB devices.
Before I changed the boot order so that PCMCIA would start first I would
not get a network connection when first booted up. This because when the
network is set to start first and the only connection to the network is
a wireless pcmcia card, that hasn't started yet, you can't get an DHCP
assigned ipaddress.
So if someone can tell me which file I can modify so the startup order
of PCMCIA won't be reset when yast or YOU is run I would be grateful.
Thanks
